Diabetic gets honorary degree

Sir Steve Redgrave – most famous for promising to give interviews to small – but well-formed – diabetes-related websites and then ignoring any follow up emails from hard-working and dedicated website owners – has been given an honorary degree from St Andrews university. You can read all about it here http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/news/archive/2011/Title,70299,en.html if you’re interested in diabetic sportsmen getting honorary law degrees (rather than having to work hard for three years to get a law degree, like both dedicated owners of this website!)

My spy at St Andrews’ events department tells me he was “a nice chap” but still the taint of not-replying-to-our-emails sticks. Bah!
